Tallulah says, "Y'all come to hear Rick and Jilda, Darlins'" |
The Community Foundation contacted us last month and asked if we would consider performing before the World Premiere of The Bankheads. It's a documentary based on the Bankhead family.
There were U.S. Senators, Representatives, and another of the family was a federal judge. Tallulah Bankhead who was a famous screen actress was also a member of that family.
The University of Alabama did a documentary on the family and tomorrow night is the premiere of that movie.
I'm not sure how many people will show up, but it could be a few in the amphitheatre when we play. We are so excited.
We've practiced until our fingers are raw. It's in the hand of the music gods at this point.
I hear you two are finger picking good!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll perform wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you and Jilda, Rick... I am sure you will both do great and have fun... it sounds like a great gig xox

ReplyDeleteHey Emma, that is Tallulah. I photoshopped her in the picture. She would be there if she was still living I'm sure :)
